A Church That Reflects the World
The Office of Intercultural Ministry serves the archdiocese by promoting and developing cultural awareness. This enables our church to better understand and answer the pastoral needs of our ever-growing diverse Catholic population throughout north and central Georgia.
The office consists of two ministries – Black Catholic Ministry and Hispanic and Latino Ministry. Both share the unique gifts of the cultures they represent and promote programs and initiatives that celebrate these cultures through the lens of Catholic tradition.
How We Serve Our Cultural Communities
- Pastoral Support: Helping parishes consider the pastoral needs of their diverse community, including cultural uniqueness, sensitivities and native language.
- Celebrate Cultural Liturgies and Feasts: Promoting liturgical celebrations that reflect the beauty of diverse traditions.
- Formation and Leadership Resources: Providing resources, workshops and leadership training tailored to the needs of multicultural communities.
- Build Unity Through Community: Encouraging intercultural understanding and collaboration across ministries, parishes and diocesan offices.
The work of the Office of Intercultural Ministries is supported by donations to the Archbishop’s Annual Appeal.
Together, we can build a church that reflects the fullness of God’s kingdom and its rich diversity. Contact us to learn more and explore our upcoming events and celebrations.
